Your mouth to God’s ears. I think the sanctions we put in place


Were the “low hanging fruit”, so to speak - those the alliance could all agree about. Ratcheting up probably gets more and more complex. I do agree that it will likely be necessary.

I just don’t get the lack of any credit for Germany’s move against Nord Stream 2. That was everybody’s great frustration. Germany did more than most expected here, and yet, we keep hearing that the allies won’t do anything.

It’s just not true, and whoever were president right now, I think the right answer for all the armchair QBs is “try walking in his shoes for an hour or two”.
